Town ‘third in Premier League for house prices’

the stadium had put Huddersfield on the national sporting map, adding: “Its higher profile because of Town’s promotion, may see house prices climb even further in the future.”

Land Registry data shows that house prices in HD1 stood at an average of £122,182 at the start of the 2017-18 season against £107,641 a year ago.

Homes surrounding Arsenal’s stadium in Highbury, north London, rose by an average of 16.1% to £862,995 from £734,124 in 2016 while house prices around West Ham United’s London Stadium increased by 14% to £575,831 from £501,006.

Property in the same postcode at Tottenham Hotspur’s White Hart Lane ground, which is undergoing major redevelopment this season, rose by 10.4% while homes surrounding the Amex Stadium in Brighton and Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge in west London, were up by 8.6% and 7% respectively.

In the property league table relegation zone sits Southampton, where property prices near the club’s St Mary’s stadium fell by 6%. Property values in L4 – the postcode for Liverpool’s Anfield ground and Everton’s Goodison Park, have fallen by 8.8%.

Mr Dillon said: “Whereas a decade ago the highest property price rises were exclusively in postcodes around the London grounds, with clubs in the capital occupying all of the top six league places, our most recent analysis shows places such as Huddersfield and Brighton climbing up the table.

“Overall we’ve seen prices creep up in areas around clubs in the north such as Manchester United and Newcastle, so it seems like buyers and investors are looking at other places than London, where property prices may prove more affordable.”
